PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The LiftOperator – Pool Lift Control System with Rechargeable Battery Pack is
designed to operate any S.R. Smith lift product as well as many other actuated
lift control systems. It can be used with the applicable 2 or 4 button hand
held controls. It features a secondary control touch pad on the faceplate to
recall the seat to the deck when the seat and hand control are in the water,
or in the event the primary hand control fails. It also incorporates an
emergency stop button that activates an audible alert. The touchpad has LED
indicators that indicate “Battery (Energy) Level”, “Emergency Alert”
activation and “Service Required” when maintenance” is required based on lift
usage. The lift performance information – i.e. up/down, left/right, battery
charge cycles and to reset the “Service Required” LED are viewed/completed via
the USB port on the bottom of the control via a standard FAT-formatted USB
mass storage device (not included). The lift performance log information can
be downloaded to a PC for viewing and record keeping. The unit is constructed
of high impact, UV resistant plastic, is water resistant and available in 2
and 4 button configurations. The removable battery pack is rechargeable via
the included battery charger. The included lock plate for the battery pack
prevents unauthorized removal of the battery pack with the use of padlock (not
included). All circuit boards have been conformal coated to add an extra layer
of protection against moisture and corrosion.
Application
For use with any S.R. Smith lift product as the standard lift control. It can
be used as a replacement unit for any existing S.R. Smith lift or many other
common actuated lifts. The unit mounts to existing mounting holes.
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION / OPERATION
Control Box
The LiftOperator is available in two models – a 2 button Control and a 4
button Control. The unit controls all lift operations identical to the user
hand set. Two or three cables connect to the bottom of the Control Box to
enable operation of the lift. The largest connector is for the hand control.
Connector # 1 is for the motor cable (red stripe). Connector # 2 is for the
actuator cable (green stripe – 4 button Control only).
Touchpad Control –
The touchpad control arrow keys can be used in the event that the hand
control is out of reach or fails. Simply press and hold the arrow for the
desired action for one movement at a time – Up, Down, Left, Right Releasing
the Arrow stops movement.
Battery Level LED Indicators –
The Battery Level LED Indicators show battery charge levels. The LED’s will
illuminate when either the touchpad control or the hand control is activated
and will stay lit for 10 seconds. At greater than 50% the LED glows Green, at
less than 50% the LED glows Amber, and less than 25% the LED glows red and
indicates the battery requires charging. If the less than 25% LED glows red,
do not operate the lift. Remove the battery and fully charge before use.
Service Required LED –
The Service Required LED will illuminate when the battery pack has been
removed/replaced 120 times – approximately once every 4 months. This indicates
that required maintenance for the lift must be completed. Please see the
maintenance section of the Lift Owner’s Manual for the requirements. The
Service Required LED can be reset by inserting a standard FAT-formatted USB
mass storage device (not included) into the USB Port on the bottom of the
controller. When the service light is illuminated the lift must not be used
until required maintenance is performed.
Emergency Stop Button –
In the event of an emergency, or if you need to stop lift movement
immediately, pressing the Emergency Stop Button (red button on the control)
will stop all lift movement. At the same time an audible alert will sound for
10 sec. then pause for 5 sec. and then the sequence will repeat until the
button is reset by turning it in the direction of the arrows on the button
(clockwise). The Emergency Alert LED will also flash Red when the button is
pressed and will remain flashing unit the button is reset.
The Emergency Alert (audible and LED) can be activated by pressing anytwo
buttons on the hand control at the same time (provided with the lift). This
will stop all lift movement and activate the audible alert and the Red LED
will flash. Once both buttons are released, the lift will return to normal
operation and the emergency audible alert will silence.
USB Port –
The LiftOperator control contains a USB port that is used to download the
performance log of the lift. Using any standard FAT file formatted USB memory
stick (widely available through retail outlets) insert the stick into the slot
on the bottom of the control on the far right hand side. Press any of the
touchpad control arrows; all three of the Battery Level LED’s will flash.
During downloading the Green greater than 50% Battery Level LED will flash. If
the unit has a problem downloading the performance log the Amber less than 25%
LED will flash. Remove the USB from the port and re-insert it. If the Amber
25% LED flashes again, confirm that the USB you are using is FAT file
formatted. The information from the USB can be downloaded to a PC for review
and/or copied to a spread sheet. The performance log will retain approximately
7,600 events. Once the file is full it will remove the oldest event and
replace with the newest.
After the summary data, the events are shown with the oldest first. The first
column is the time in seconds from that last event. The second column is the
text describing the event. The third column is duration of the activity noted
in seconds.

BATTERY PACK
The battery pack is located on top of the Control Box and is removable.
To remove – pull the battery pack away from the mounting plate so that the
latch on the battery pack clears the side tabs on the mounting plate – then
lift the battery pack up and away from the Control Box.
To replace – align the battery pack with the mounting plate so that the latch
will drop over the center tab and that the bottom of the battery pack will fit
in the recessed area on top of the Control Box. Lower the battery pack in
place so that the latch is fully captured by the mounting plate and the
battery pack drops fully seated onto the Control Box.
The battery pack should be charged daily. Do not allow battery to fully
discharge, as it will shorten battery life. Whenever battery is removed from
Control Box or lift that is not in use it is important to connect the battery
to the charger. This ensures battery is fully charged and ready for use.
Prior to connecting the charger to the battery, make sure that the LEAD ACID
battery type is selected and that the selected voltage is 24V. After the
correct battery type and voltage is selected, connect the charger to the
battery.
The battery charger has an LED indicator to show charging status. The
following describes LED indicator operation.
Amber Light Flashing – The amber light flashing indicates that the battery
charger has AC power and the microprocessor is functioning properly. If the
amber light continues to flash, either the battery voltage is too low (battery
pack needs to be replaced), or the battery charger is not properly connected
to the battery.
Alternating Green/Amber (Amber LED & Green)
-
This indicates reverse polarity connection to the battery.
or -
The charger’s safety timer has activated due to the battery not reaching its optimal voltage. The battery may be defective, contact S.R. Smith customer service for troubleshooting.
Amber Light on Steady – Whenever the amber light is on steady, a battery
is connected properly to the charger and the charger is charging the battery.
The amber light will remain on until the charger completes the charging stage.
Green Light Flashing – When the charger shows a green flashing light, the
battery is 80% charged. Whenever possible, leave the battery on the charger
until the green light is solid.
Green Light on Steady – When the green light stops flashing and remains
on steady, the battery is fully charged and can be returned to service. The
battery can and should be left on the charger when not in use.
Batteries have a normal lifespan of between 2-3 years, depending on use and
care. A fully charged battery will provide approximately 30 to 40-lifting
cycles, depending on the weight of the users. Prior to use the battery charge
level should be checked by observing the LED indicator on the charger plug to
ensure sufficient charge level. See warranty policy regarding battery
replacement.
It is not necessary to fully discharge the battery prior to charging. Battery
should be charged daily and cannot be overcharged. It takes up to twelve hours
to fully charge depending upon battery usage. Do not allow battery to fully
discharge, as it will shorten battery life. Whenever battery is removed from
Control Box or the lift is not in use it is important to connect battery to
charger. This ensures battery is fully charged and ready for use.
Do not drop the battery, as it could cause the unit to fail. If the battery
case is cracked do not use and replace the battery. Do not place battery on a
conductive surface. During temperature extremes beyond the range of 41 F (5 C)
to 104 F (40 C) remove battery and place in a controlled environment or
battery life may be shortened.
Battery Disposal
The batteries located inside the battery pack are recyclable and shall be
disposed of in accordance with applicable local, state/provincial or
federal/national regulations.
Locking Plate Assembly
The battery pack can be secured to the mounting plate using the provided lock
plate assembly. To install open the lock plate so that the bottom tabs are
moved close to one another to allow the lock plate to be inserted into the
slots on the mounting plate secured to the lift. Close the lock plate assembly
so that the tabs are captured by the slots. Insert a padlock (not provided)
through the holes on the lock plate assembly to secure it.
Console/Battery Cover
Keep the Console/Battery Cover installed at all times to prevent moisture
from collecting on the Control Box and battery. Excessive moisture collection
can affect battery and lift performance and could lead to battery failure
and/or the lift failing to operate. Whenever the battery is removed for
charging the Console/Battery Cover must be placed over the Control Box to
protect the unit from the elements.
